ABOUT ME

So... I am IEVA and my story at the moment is just beginning!
Originally I am from small place in Lithuania were I grew up as a wild girl :D At the moment I am enjoying a student Life in UK, doing a International Tourism Management course and dreaming about unconcerned trip around a world:D. There is no minute that I do not have any plans for trips and travels but studies and other limiting factors impels me to postpone it. I do not like lazy travels the only priority is a lot of action on the way:) That is way I am on CS cause it provides the opportunity to fall into the local life and feel it on your own. Also adventure, some crazy and spontaneous things is that I adore to happen while traveling! That makes your journey magic:) Personally I am that kind of person, who loves meeting different people in order to know new cultures, discover my authority and of course socialize;)

PHILOSOPHY

Think globaly, act localy! it is were essence begins...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy both surfing and hosting! I do not know how to say No so you always are welcome in my place;) until I have too much surfers :P
I really love this idea cause I think this is the best way to travel and acknowledge the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am just more than a year on CS, but I already have some stories to tell. So I didn't enjoy Oslo CS community! It was really hard to find a host and unfortunately we stayed in the park on the bench. However it was still useful experience;)

Another really unpleasant case was at my rented flat. I have hosted the guy from Poland and the last night before leaving he had LOTS of alcohol so the consequent was that he had puked ALL my bathroom and fell asleep there. As that wasn't enough in the morning he wasn't ashamed in order to leave immediately.

My best and really awesome surf was in Latvia when we had our own little sauna house, also sauna everyday and the REALLY GOO meal during the day. Thank you Baiba! And I am waiting for u at my place;)
